Hotel Art Resort Galleria Umberto

hotel bien situé et confortable mais bruyant

très bon accueil, personnel sympa

Wonderful hotel with great location. Has flair and style. Service was friendly and welcoming.

The Hotel Art Resort Galleria Umberto I is welcoming, stylish and excellently located. The staff are outstanding; unfailingly friendly and helpful, doing everything they can to make their guests feel welcome and enjoy their stay (bravi tutti!). The rooms are spacious and very attractive (the images on the website are entirely accurate) with large, well-designed en-suite bathrooms (immediate hot water and no problems with pressure), comfortable, large beds and very good house-keeping. The wifi was reliable throughout and the hotel quiet, i.e., good conditions for getting work done for those who need to. The location is excellent; close to major sites, the sea and transport (underground, funicolare, buses, a taxi stand) as well as shopping (Via Chiaia and Via Toledo), all kinds of eateries and a 15-minute walk from the historical centre. There can be some noise in the street during the night from rubbish collections and deliveries - unavoidable so close to shops and restaurants. The breakfast is very generous, features local specialities and there is variety within the offerings every day. It includes pastries and cakes, bread, fresh and dried fruits, fresh and cooked vegetables, cold cuts, meats, cheeses, cereals, milk and yoghurts, sweet spreads, juices and, of course, wonderful coffee. In sum, the hotel is a welcoming haven in a bustling, big city; a perfect basis for a holiday (especially the culture or shopping kind) or business trip.

Great location; parking was difficult. Stellar breakfast.
